Punch Bag
 

The kids got a small punch bag for Christmas, only about 2 ft high and about fifteen inches across but fairly weighty, just sat there since Christmas but they mithered so I hung it from the garage rafters, they havent really bothered but I just cant stop myself going in there to have a go.

Now I am no hard man but after a week of practice on that I cant half batter it and get a really satisfying thud from it, when I have the room I am going to get a proper one, apart from the exercise its so satisfying. It's a bit twisted but I couldnt help thinking of situation where my new found 'skills' could be put to use, not actually going to punch anybody but must confess to my mind wandering.

My back and shoulders have been aching like mad.

take it into work...best way of getting your frustration out instead of lamping the useless desktop users :D

lol@'street lethal IT geek.... classic :)

if you want to speed your hands up buy a floor/ceiling ball ;) no weight in it so there is nothing to damage the house just lots of fun :D

Yep nothing as frustrating as trying to explain fundamental IT concepts to a 55 year old HRT and Gin addled 20 stone office trout, thankfully not very often these days.

wax on...wax off :D

Good stuff, I have a speedball and a very, very heavy bag. I haven't used the heavy bag for about four months, and a few days ago gave it a decent right hook as I walked past it and literally gave myself whiplash in my neck for two days! :wonder: :cuckoo:

A good bag workout (once warmed up!!!!) in line with a cardio (skipping, ideally) is probably the best workout you can get. If you're enjoying it, embrace it and get a Lonsdale DVD showing you basic workout and technique. :thumb:

Oh, and before you start calling yourself Charles Bronson and start cleaning up the streets, remember , punchbags don't punch back! :D

Get a floor to ceiling ball too - you have no choice but to move !

Get a slam man - my brothers got one and its so satisfying kicking the crap out of it. :D

For their cost - I'd rather buy a decent uppercut bag

PS - They are fun tho!:thumb:

Or you could find a sparring partner:thumb:

I'm looking for a suitable punchbag as I can't seem to find anyone willing to be my sparring partner :(

Are you looking for someone to go shopping at Spar with?:Suspiciou

Yeah, I've got one of those. The Silver one :thumb:

Deffo improves your reflex speed, upper body strength, and punching power.

I'll be able to take on one of the Scoobynet cage fighters any time soon :D

I'm sure a few blokes would happily give you a battering round the ring.......

I would Lou Lou:thumb:

Just boxing tho, no kicks

Id be gentle too

You could spar with pslewis. Petes been posting crap about being a street-fighter for so long youre probably equally matched now...
